Here is another instance of action-happy, but brain-deficient Indian police whose policy on any rape complaint by a woman seems to be to lodge FIR, arrest the man accused, and then think of what to do about investigation and putting charges. When lawmakers have made laws like PWDVA (protection of women against domestic violence act), which clearly recognize the occurrence of live-in relationships, and provide reliefs for woman in a live-in relationship; it is clear that a rape charge by a woman in a live-in relationship is nothing but abuse of laws. Indian Supreme Court has recently said that live-in …[Continue Reading]

This kind of news reporting can only bias the reader into believing the headline when the actual news is something else. e.g. the headline for news item below says: “Rapist pays victim, goes free”.

A recent SC judgment Indian women will not lie about rape. That statement may have some reasonings behind it but it is difficult to imagine the need for this to be made in a judgment where there was no doubt about guilt of the accused and severity of the crime.

I will cover that issue separately. Here is the full judgment below with the particular statement in bold. ——————————————————-REPORTABLE …[Continue Reading]
